Package: java-package
Version: 0.24

Since there's a newer version in unstable, this might be fixed, but I
can't easily test that, and I don't obviously see this in the bug
list. I'm sorry if it's known.

make-jpkg won't let me run as root. nor will it let me run as root
inside fakeroot. So I'm su'ing:

  su - nobody -c "fakeroot make-jpkg /tmp/j2sdk-1_4_2_09-linux-i586.bin"

it runs, and seems to work okay, till the end:

   dpkg-deb: building package `sun-j2sdk1.4' in `/tmp/make-jpkg.XXXXBDz6WZ/sun-j2sdk1.4_1.4.2+09_i386.deb'.
       copy sun-j2sdk1.4_1.4.2+09_i386.deb into directory //
   cp: cannot create regular file `//sun-j2sdk1.4_1.4.2+09_i386.deb': Permission denied

   Aborted (//).
